SEATTLE, WA – “Hopefully someone will step up and become a hero.”
Those were the words of Whitecaps FC head coach Carl Robinson this week ahead of Thursday’s second leg of the Western Conference Semifinals vs. Seattle Sounders FC (7:30 p.m. PT on TSN5 and TSN 1040 radio). There are certainly no shortage of candidates on either side.
It could be Fredy Montero, the former Sounder who shocked MLS with a move to Vancouver. It could be Clint Dempsey, the U.S. national team star who is set to return from suspension. Or maybe even one of the goalkeepers, especially if the match goes to a penalty shootout.
